The AI Incident Database is a collection of harms or near harms realized in the real world by the deployment of intelligent systems. You are invited to submit reports to the database, whereupon accepted incidents will be indexed and made discoverable to people developing and deploying the next generation of AI technology to the world.

Learn more about the database, or read about it on the PAI Blog, Vice News, Venture Beat, and arXiv among other outlets.
